Every year cm would talk about how she would make popcorn balls for her ex even though she hated popcorn. Well I am not fond of it either however, I have a burning desire to make some this year just because they remind me of her so much.... Only thing is I lost that recipe somewhere along the way and the one person I knew could tell me, can't. Do you have a handy recipe nearby that you can share?

In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water and salt. Cook over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 235° (soft-ball stage).

Remove from the heat. Add the butter, vanilla and food coloring if desired; stir until butter is melted. Immediately pour over popcorn and stir until evenly coated.

When mixture is cool enough to handle, quickly shape into 3-in. balls, dipping hands in cold water to prevent sticking. Yield: 20 servings.

Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.
